Beaver Creek Reservoir Land Management Plan

Reservoir Land Management Plans (RLMPs) effectively guide land use approvals, private water use facility permitting, and resource management decisions on TVA-managed public land.

Beaver Creek Reservoir is one of seven tributary reservoirs included in the Northeastern Tributary RLMPs project, which was approved by the TVA Board of Directors in June 2010.

Beaver Creek Dam and Reservoir was created to provide flood protection and recreation for the Bristol, Tennessee-Virginia, area. Beaver Creek is a flood detention dam with no permanent reservoir pool and is situated in Washington County, Virginia.

The bridge over Beaver Creek forms part of the walking trail near the dam. The nearby city-managed park offers walking trails that ramble back and forth across the creek and dam area. The park also includes soccer and softball fields, as well as a picnic area and campground.

Scope

The scope of the Beaver Creek RLMP is 290.0 acres of the 4,932 total acres of TVA public land in the Northeastern Tributary RLMP. The Beaver Creek RLMP contains a regional overview, information about the environment around the reservoir and descriptions of each parcel of land. Beaver Creek Reservoir property is divided into three parcels, and each parcel is assigned a single land use allocation zone. Descriptions of the allowable land uses within each land planning zone are available here.
